If you have questions about HPV, the HPV vaccine, cervical screening, cell changes or cervical cancer, we’ve got your covered with information you can trust. 

We exist to ensure cervical cancer won’t.

Did you know that, thanks to the HPV vaccine and Cervical Screening Tests, Australia is on track to effectively eliminate cervical cancer by 2035?

By raising awareness of regular Cervical Screening Tests, (formerly referred to as the Pap test), and the availability of the HPV vaccine, ACCF is making enormous strides towards keeping Australia on track to make cervical cancer a thing of the past.

Support resources

We provide support for women, people with a cervix and families affected by cervical cancer. If you or someone you love is going through cervical cancer diagnosis, treatment or recovery, we are here for you. We offer financial assistance via our Orange Hearts Bursary Program and provide access to reliable information and support services.

Health education

We’re active in providing schools, community and workplace education on HPV and cervical cancer. Our HPV & Me Awareness Program for Schools is now available online FREE of charge for high school students, parents and teachers. Everyone has a role to play in preventing cervical cancer!

Health promotion

Cervical Cancer Awareness Week (13-19 November 2023) is ACCF’s annual flagship communication campaign to put cervical cancer on the public radar and educate Australians on HPV vaccination and cervical screening options. Join us in raising awareness of cervical cancer prevention.
